Spring is just around the corner and who isn’t looking forward to longer days, shorter nights, and a whiff of fragrance in the air? Come and lose yourself for a while in interpretive images of emerging life and new energy by artists and photographers of the Swampscott Art Association. All you stand to lose are the winter doldrums!

The Swampscott Arts Association (SAA) began in the 1940's when a group of well-known professional artists came together at the Swampscott Public Library to meet and create exhibits. By 1969 the group had grown to 60 members and today to about 70. Membership is non-juried and open to local artists and photographers to encourage exhibition opportunities for their work. The SAA seeks to foster and encourage art in Swampscott and the surrounding communities through camaraderie, workshops, and exhibitions for both artist and those who appreciate art. www.swampscottarts.org
